Son of top Hamas leader converts to Christianity

“Masab Yousef, son of West Bank Hamas leader Sheik Hassan Yousef, revealed for the first time in an exclusive interview with Haaretz newspaper that he has left Islam and is now a Christian. Prior to the interview’s publication last Thursday, Yousef’s family did not know of his faith conversion even though he is in regular contact with them.

‘[T]his interview will open many people’s eyes, it will shake Islam from the roots, and I’m not exaggerating,’ Yousef, who now resides in the United States, said. ‘What other case do you know where a son of a Hamas leader, who was raised on the tenets of extremist Islam, comes out against it?'”
